A Transportation Security Administration worker who pretended to find drugs in a passenger's bag at Philadelphia International Airport in January had played the prank more than once and told one of his victims that "she would have to admit it was funny," according to TSA documents.
The documents, which detail the dopey antics of a bomb-appraisal officer whose name has been blacked out, were released on the Smoking Gun website this week.
The Inquirer broke the story of Rebecca Solomon, 22, who on Jan. 5 became the unsuspecting butt of the officer's joke when he pretended to find a white, powdery substance in her luggage.

The TSA needs to be dissolved and the individual Airlines should be handling their own security. This whole thing has totally gotten out of hand. Thats what always happens when you let the government get involved.
TSA is necessary for some aspects....but it wouldn’t have come this far had we been allowed to profile terrorists. PC is killing the country.
Janet Reno??!!
remember we were told how they would be “professionals”
did they send her through the naked scanners and pass out the pics too?
TSA
Too Stupid for Arbys
Wouldn’t surprise me and that is the disturbing part.
We have come to expect their arrogance and softly accepted it with grudging acquiescence.
I think that is the point. Little by little get the people to accept state supremacy
Yeah, swell. I’m sure people react really well to being told they have a controlled substance, you know something you will be immediately arrested for, and go to jail for, and whatnot, by somebody in a federal uniform, who’s word the courts will trust over yours.
I’m sure the sudden loss of blood to the face, and the utter stark look of panic, as the persons heart stops for just a second, right before their blood pressure spikes to astronomical levels, and then start sweating profusely, is really really funny, and when they find out it was all in jest, just start laughing uproariously.
I’m all for pranks, but these guys are supposed to be “professionals”, and they are the law. You do pranks against people you know, and not in official government capacity. That would be like a cop stopping you for a routine traffic stop, and telling you to step out of the car with your hands on top of your head because you match the description perfectly of a guy that just raped and murdered an 11 year old.
Nope. We won't hear a peep.
